Part of what makes being president hard on people is the stress, the weight of the job. Does that affect him? Does he have a soul to be bothered at 3am?

I'd wager that while he doesn't care about the things that most People Who Give A Shit care about, he does experience a lot of anger over perceived slights. Way more than a normal person. So yes, I think he is definitely experiencing a Trumpendous™ amount of stress.

Body language is so telling here. She is turned towards him, relaxed, like a normal person; while he stares ahead, manspreading, with his trademark stank face.
Good thing she won't take this personal, knowing what a petulant man child he is.

^ I think about what you say a lot. Part of what makes being president hard on people is the stress, the weight of the job. Does that affect him? Does he have a soul to be bothered at 3am? Presidents want to (usually) do what's right; at the very least they're concerned about their legacy. He doesn't give a shit about either. The normal stresses of the presidency might not reach him. He's so far over his head he has no idea he's over his head. He's surrounded by yes-men (literal men for the most part too). He seems to have no idea.

I don't think he's up at night pacing the floor worrying about what's best for our country. He behaves more like some old world king than a president. In fact I'm surprised he doesn't have someone to taste his food. He may pass out of the picture before his term is over but I'd venture to say that it would be more from living high off the hog for so long rather than because he's stressed out about his job.

As I posted on FB, just be aware that this is going to take some time. The Rethugs are laying the groundwork for prosecuting the "leaks" who were willing to risk imprisonment for doing the decent thing, but the fact that Comey is so tight-lipped gives me hope. That means that there's plenty of evidence to Donald's Russian ties that he can't discuss right now, because it's an ongoing investigation. Stay tuned, and stay focused.

This is what I hope! This is what I hope! A good investigation would take awhile. People were screaming IMPEACH from day one. It doesn't work that way! I want him to fall and fall hard, beyond any doubt!

I want him to fall and fall hard too, but in such a way that his fans recognize that he is a threat to America and to democracy. I get that he'll keep the very alt-right but I have hope that some middle conservatives may be open to hearing evidence that may change their views.
